Nick’s POVWatching Soma and Oliver talk in the restaurant seemed to be going well. I hoped he was able to convince her of our world. I didn’t want to see anything bad happen to her, and I didn’t want the vampires to get a hold of her again. That scared me when Oliver called and told me they found her and she wasn't in good shape. It took everything in my power not to go to the damn vampire and kill him right then and there.“How long have you known the Luna?” Micah asked stepping next to me.“Almost her whole life, I found her after her father placed her with her adoptive parents,” I said without looking at him. I didn’t want to give too much information as I still didn’t trust these mutts.“So what's the story with her, why is she with the humans?”“I don’t think I should tell you anything about that, not until I’m sure you and her brother are true to her. She is in a dangerous place now, our King wanted me to bring her back years ago, but she refused to believe anything I said.” I
Soma’s POVListening to everything Oliver was telling me didn’t make sense. I couldn’t be something he says I was. I wasn't sure if this was some kind of joke to get me to fall in love with him. This wasn't going to work out for him, I couldn’t be mated to a werewolf, or mated at all. This wasn't making sense, maybe there was someone I could talk to that would be able to verify this without knowing anything about me.Getting home I was happy, I wanted to invite Oliver in but he made some excuse about giving me time to process this which was fine. I needed to talk to Nick more about this and see if he can verify anything else. Once I have that, I needed to find someone or someplace that has more information about werewolves and Lycans.,“So you want to talk?” Nick asked handing me a glass of wine.Now that he was home, I didn’t want to talk about it anymore. I was kind of excited about going to Oliver’s land to see what it’s all about. I couldn’t imagine him being in the mountain, but
Oliver’s POVAfter dropping Soma off at her apartment, I went straight home. Micah was already waiting outside when I pulled up. He looked a little pissed off, but also happy that I made it through the date.“So what happened? Why did she almost leave?” he asked.“Because she doesn’t want to accept what she is,” I said shaking my head. “But when she came back to the table I knew she was still curious so, I am bringing her here tomorrow,” I said sitting down. “I don’t want her address as Luna as I’m sure it’s going to freak her out more.”“So how are you going to introduce her to the pack then?”“Well, I don’t know if I will,” I said shrugging my shoulders. “At least not the first meeting.”“Well, what if people see you with her?” Micah quizzed.“Why don’t we worry about that when we come to it. She is already freaked out enough I don’t want her stressed out more. I am hoping she comes here and loves it, I want her moving here as soon as possible as I don’t like how the vampires are.”
Soma’s POVToday was the day I was going to see where Oliver lived, I was afraid and excited at the same time. Nick was already gone for the day, he didn’t say where he was going, but I figured he was doing his own thing. Maybe he was getting London sick and wanted to go back. I would let him, now that I felt something would happen with Oliver and me, I didn’t feel so alone and weird being here.Getting ready and then had some tea before Oliver would come and pick me up. He gave me the option to stay the night, Nick thinks it would be a great idea for me to get to know him. But I was afraid it might lead to something I am not prepared for.My phone rang, I didn’t know the number. I wasn't sure if I should answer it but decided why not.“Hello?”“Is this Soma?”“Yes, may I help you?”“Stay away from Oliver, he’s going to get you killed.” the voice on the other end spoke.“What?” I asked. “Who is this?”“I warn you now if you go with him, you will bring death and destruction to his pack
Soma’s POVOliver left me in my room to get freshened up, he also had an issue he had to deal with. I didn’t mind, I wasn't ready to go downstairs and meet everyone. The house was lovely, I could see myself living here, I knew that I was jumping far ahead, but everything seemed to call me.The room smelled just like Oliver, I don’t know why that gave me comfort but I was glad I felt safe here. Lost in my thoughts, my phone vibrated.“Hey, Nick.”“Hey Baby girl, are you having fun?”“Yeah he brought me to my room, this place is bigger than my apartment, the house is amazing. I don’t know if I’d want to leave.”“Well I’m sure Oliver would love to hear you say that.” he giggled. “Look I think you should stay with Oliver, I was called back to London, so I need to leave tonight.”“What! Are you serious!”“Yeah I’m sorry, your store is safe. I have someone looking after it, they will let me know if the Detective tries to do anything.”“So I don’t even get to give you a hug and kiss before y
Oliver’s POVBringing Soma to the pack lands was the best thing for me and Drew. He was still going crazy, he wanted to bring her to our room, but I made sure she had her room. She needed to be comfortable with us before we ask her to sleep next to us. I knew I wouldn't be able to control him with her if she was that close.Once we were in her room, I felt her relax a little bit. I needed to take a shower and meet with Micah and see what the plans were for the night. I hope everyone could control themselves around her, I didn’t want them to scare her into running from me. I knew they were going to ask if she was the Luna, that was something I couldn’t control.“Micah come to my office.” I mind-linked him after leaving Soma in her room.“Yes Alpha?” he mused.“I want Soma’s visit here to be without issues, have you done what I’ve asked?” I asked sitting down.“For the most part, but you know wolves and their daunting questions. They are going to ask the one question you don’t want them
Nick’s POVI knew sending Soma to Oliver was the best thing for her right now. With King Gideon trying to pressure me into bringing her to London, I was starting to drive myself crazy. Yes, she belonged with her kind, but her parents didn’t want that life for her, and I don’t know the reasons behind it. She doesn’t know her past, and maybe her parents wanted to keep it that way. I needed to meet with Nathaniel and see why he didn’t want his daughter growing up as the Princess she is.My phone vibrates I was hoping it was Soma, but it wasn't. “Hello, King Gideon,” I said trying to sound like I was relaxed but I was anything but that.“When are you bringing the Princess home, the longer she is out there, the longer she is in danger,” he growled.“She is safe right now, and she doesn’t want to come home with me. She likes her life here in New York.” I said walking around her store. “Besides why is the reason Nathaniel and his wife brought here is beyond me. She doesn’t even remember her
King Gideon’s POVKnowing Nick was being slow about everything was pissing me off. He knew I didn’t like to wait, but he thought making me wait was a good thing. I was going to send people to New York whether he had a month or not. This was getting out of hand, and the longer the Princess was away from us, the more likely it would be she would be murdered. Did he not realize if the vampires and witches knew what she was, she would be in danger and probably sought. I knew he was already having issues with the vampires, but yet he plays with her life like he doesn’t love her too.“King Gideon we have word that Nick is on his way to London.” one of my warriors mind-linked me.“Oh really, and how much of the information do you trust?” I quizzed.“He should be here in eight hours. I didn’t know he was coming otherwise I would have sent someone to meet him.”“He’s not supposed to be coming home yet, not unless he is with the girl.” I gritted through my teeth. Now he was pissing me off, how
Soma’s POVFollowing Oliver to his office, I was a little nervous to speak to my father. Since I hadn’t heard his voice, it was going to be weird, but I knew we needed to speak. I was excited to invite him over to New York so he could see me become Luna. I wasn’t sure if he would have some kind of expectation about me being a Princess and if I would become Queen in the future. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to be but if it came down to it I would.“Hey, Nathaniel,” Oliver said into the phone. “I apologize for not calling sooner, with everything happening quickly I kind of lost track of time.” He said looking at her. “Soma would like to talk to you, she wants to tell you something important.” He said before handing the phone to me.“Hey, dad.”“It’s good to hear your voice, how are you feeling?” he asked.“I am better still a little weak, and I haven’t heard my wolf so I don’t know why she has still locked away,” I said with a sad tone.“Well, she will come when the time is right.” He as
Oliver’s POVWatching Soma take her store apart was painful for me too, I could see that she didn’t want to do this but she was forcing herself to do it. I wanted to stop her and tell her we should come back another day when she was ready, but I knew she was stubborn and wouldn’t let me pull her away from something she was already doing. The only thing I could do is support her and do what she needed me to do.Her spirits picked up when I told her I wanted to sell her tea at my shop. I knew it would give her something to do when she wanted to come back to the human world. I was glad Micah made friends with the owner because he did give us a break because of what happened to Soma. I knew things would be better for Soma once this was done.“I am going to start taking boxes over, I’ve called Micah to come and stay here and help with the rest of the stuff,” I spoke.“Okay, this is almost it.” She said putting the rest of the shelve she was working on in a box. “Can you see if there are an
Soma’s POVWatching Oliver freak out until I was done with my coffee and cookies was entertaining but now, I was faced with my store and my decision. I sighed getting Oliver’s attention, I knew he was going to ask me the same questions he did last night and I just had to be firm with my answers. As much as I didn’t want to give up my dream, it was the only way I knew how to let go of my past and the hurt that I faced.My adopted parents abandoned me because of this store, and that hurt almost as much as what Detective Marks had done to me. I knew they were different pains but they still hurt no matter what.“I think I am ready to go over there,” I said looking across the street.“Alright.” He said getting up. “Micah we’re going across the street, if you need something mind link me.”“Yeah, yeah.” He said waving his hand at us. He was still grossed out by the gum thing and probably annoyed because he was picking it by hand and it was fun watching his face. But we needed to get things d
Soma’s POVOpening my eyes to Oliver coming back into the room, I yawned and stretched and smiled when he sat down.“Where did you go?” I asked.“I had to talk to Micah about our plans for today.” He smiled. “You should go back to sleep; you’ve only been sleeping for a few hours.”“I know, but I want to get this over and done with and then we could come back here and I could relax a little by the lake.”“Sun bathing is always nice, just don’t do it naked.” He warned playfully.“I don’t do that!” I snapped at him; I knew he would love to watch me lay out naked but I was still shy about my body.Going to the tea store was going to be depressing, my whole dream was out the window and there wasn’t anything I could do about it. I didn’t want to shut down, but I knew it was for the best. I didn’t want Oliver stressing about me being over here alone, and honestly, I didn’t know if I could handle all the stress that came with running the store again. I knew Nick would want to come and help if
Oliver’s POVFinding out Soma woke up, part of me didn’t want to believe it because when I left her a little while ago, she didn’t seem like she wanted to wake up. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs, she was standing there with the two warriors I assigned to guard my door. My heart went into my throat, was I seeing a ghost? Was she really there? Am I going crazy? All those questions went through my head, but as soon as I touched her everything made sense, and she was awake! Remembering when she first woke up was a fresh reminder that the Moon Goddess was good and she was looking out for us, she loved me and I shouldn’t have doubted it.Watching her eat was funny, it’s like she forgot how to eat or she was overly hungry and wanting to eat as much as she could before someone took her plate away. I knew she was battling the demons inside her and there was nothing I couldn’t do about it. I was a little sad that she wanted to close her store, but I knew it was for the best. She needed
Soma’s POVI walked around the house and the yard, and I explored the shop. Oliver watched me curiously, I think he was hoping I would say something but I didn’t know what to say. He has done so much for me, I don’t even know where to begin.Finally turning to face him. “I think I want to close the tea shop, I don’t think it’s for me anymore.” I frowned. “I mean I loved my dream, but I feel like we have something bigger planned for us, and I am ready to take that step.”“Are you sure that is something you want to do?” he asked coming closer to me. “We can keep the store open, I can even send some help for you so you are not alone.”“No,” I said shaking my head. “If I don’t close the store I will regret it, and I want to be closer to home I know you want me here too.”“Well yeah of course I do, but I don’t want you to feel like you are a prisoner here because you don’t feel like you’ll be safe. We’re always going to make sure no one can hurt you, and this time I am not going to be hesi
Soma’s POVOliver and I chatted until dinner was done. I wasn't sure if I had to move, and I didn’t. Oliver made everyone move things around to be around me. I loved how he wanted me to be in charge of things, but I wasn't ready to be that person.“Did Nick ever go back to London?”“Present!” Nick exclaimed. “I heard that you finally woke up sleeping beauty,” he said kissing me on my head. “You have missed a lot maybe after dinner Oliver will allow me some time with you so we can catch up.”“Maybe not.” Oliver snapped. “She needs her rest, and so do I, she is coming with me after dinner. Tomorrow the two of you can talk and have your fun if she is strong enough,” he said looking at me. “As long as you’re okay with that.”“Of course I am.” I smiled.“So tomorrow.” Nick smiled. I knew he was hiding something, I hope it was something good. I didn’t want any bad news. Since I woke up today I have felt this calming feeling. It might be because the Moon Goddess said she would be around to e
Soma’s POVOpening my eyes, the Moon Goddess was right. I was able to see, and I wasn’t in the castle anymore. I felt better knowing Oliver managed to bring me to his packhouse. I didn’t know this room as I’d never seen it before but it smelled like Oliver did when I was around him. I wanted to go and find him, but the Moon Goddess told me to take it slow since I was in a coma for a while. My body did feel weak, but I knew that was just a small thing compared to what I would be feeling when I saw his eyes for the first time. I couldn’t wait to kiss him and feel his warmth all around me.I moved my legs to the side of the bed and slowly stood up, I felt sick to my stomach but I didn’t want to sit back down. I knew I needed to move around so I could get my energy back. I wasn't sure where Oliver would be, I hoped he would be close enough that someone would let him know I was awake. I hoped he wasn't overly stressed about me being unconscious, but I knew he loved me. I shouldn’t have dou
Soma’s POV“What are you thinking about Soma?” Seff asked, I found feel her wet nose on my leg.“I don’t know,” I admitted. I didn’t know what to think or what to feel. Why were we stuck in this place? Was it because they had to force Seff back because of how crazy she was, or was it because I needed the protection and this was the only way anyone knew how. “I am trying to figure out a way to get out of here. I felt that power again, it was for a while and then it got cold. I think it might be Oliver.”“It might be, I mean he is worried about you. I kind of could feel his wolf it’s very faint but I can feel something.” She said to sound more positive. “I don’t think we’re going to be here much longer, I feel the light coming for us. Maybe it’s the Moon Goddess coming to see us before she allows us to leave.”“She comes and sees people?” I asked.“Yeah, of course, especially those that are lost and scared. You see she wanted me to come to you when you were a baby because she knew the k
